Mr. McCoy offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this club express its co- operation with and will give its suoport to the organization formed iu the north part of the city for the gradiug of Thirty-third street, from Lake north to Ames avenue. The secretary was instructed to eall atten tion of the proper authorities to the gasoline lamps in the vicinity, some of which burn only for a few hours and some of which have not been lighted at all. The idea was to have stops taken to remedy this fault.

No evidence of importance was given, Emil Gustafsen, who was with Planteen ai the timo of the row, was recalled, but gave no convineing evidence. The testimony of Frizzell and Dr.Svensen, given at the last trial, was received aud the prosecution rested its case. - The de placed Dr. Relert on the staud and endeavored to show by him that Planteen’s death was uot due entirely to the ne received, but was in & my by the exposure to which jectoa himself aftor the row.

The inquest to determine the cause of the death of Charles Garrison, the colored cook of the Occidental hotel, was held yesterday afternoon at Gring’s undertaking establisn- meut, on lower Farnam street. ‘I'he first witness examined was Philip Stuart, a cook at the hotel. He testified to the fact that Garrison had been complaining of feeling sick for several days. Monday morning he appeared in the kitchen, but was 80 weak that he fainted. The witness helped him back to his room and gave him some water. His duty called bym from the room for & few moments, and when he returned shortly afterwards Gurrison was lying on his side on the bed. The witness ut once notified the people in the house. William Cott, a traveling man who boarded at the hotel, said he hud seen Garrison about the house. sick, for several days. He seemed to be irrational at times and had the appeurance of being a pretty sick man. He had beard itistated that Garrison had the asthma, William Yeoman, another cook at the hotel, said that Garrison came into the kitchen Sunday and said he had been out for a little walk. He complained of feeling au tired out, aud said his legs pained nim. He went to bed, but soon came back and asked the witness o get him some whisky and qui- nine, which was done. He drank a littie, but said it mado bun sick. Garrison spent Saturday night in a chair, as he could not sleep lying down. Monday moroing he said he felt much better, but felt very weak.

The right side of the heart was very much en- larged, but the heart action was weak. ‘There were also blood ciots in several of the vessels. ‘The direct cause of death, the doc- tor said, was paralysis of the heart, or Leart failure. ‘'he combination of conditions, the doctor remarked, would produce the heavy breuth ordinarily called asthma, ~ The jury returned a verdict to the effect that death ensuea from paralysis of the heart. e Dr.Haughawout,one of the best dentists in the west, extracts teeth without pain, inserts tecth without plates absolutely clean and strong, 1509 Douglas, Omuha.

After the vote was annouuced several of those present declared their intention to stand by the original action of the club, and it was decided that another club be organized in the near future. b An Fditor on a Popular Remedy. While the columns of the Graphic are open to any and all undbjectionable ad- vertisements, yetit is quite impossible for us to speak knowingly of the wmerits of the various artickés of merchandise advertised. Particularly is this tels of patent medicines. But there are ex- veptions occasionally and & _noteworthy exception is the celebrated ber- lain’s Cough Remedy. This now unWers- ally known medicine has been adver- tised in the Graphic for four or five years, buinot until recently haa we any personal knowledge of its wonder- ful efficacy, which has come about terough the prevailing influenza and the stubborn cough that has so often attended it. In the writer’s family this medicine has on several occasions this winter cured a cough that bafled any and all other remedies; and the number of familiesa in Kimball and vicinity in which this remedy has been used with like effects attests to its value as a specific for coughs and colds of every nature.—Kimbal, (South Dakota,) Graphie, Feb, 7, 1890, IT IS STLL UNAVENGED. Tae Murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Jones Has Not Yet Been Arrested. FOLLOWING UP THE CLUES, Description Governor of the Assassin—The Offers & Reward— Snspect King to be Re- leased Today. The Murderer. The following 18 the most compiote de- scription of the murdercr Neal yet printed. Cut it out: Height, about five feet eight inohes, Weight, about 160. Stands and walks very erect. Complexion dark, tanned. - Age, variously estimated from twenty-two to twenty-cight years. No beard, save vossibly a light mustache. A Reward Offered. Governor Thayer bas fssued a proclama- tion offering a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the assassin of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The commissioners have not yot o meeting to offer a reward for the arrest of the murderer. This fact is causing univer- sal comment, esecially in view of the fact that two members of the board have already expressed their willingness to favor the offering of a reward. By some this apathy 18 severely censured. These claim the com- missioners should have been the first to an- nounce a reward and thus proclaim to the world that Douglas county regarded human life as more valuable than ahe did a few dollars, which might readily be expended in running gown the murderer. Several members of the council were seen on the subject, and all claimed they could do nothing in the matter, because the murder +was committed outside the city. Mayor Cushing was spoken 10 on the sub- ject and held the same view. He regretted hat officially he could do nothing, but ver sonally he was willing to do anything the citizens might desire to do to run down the murderer, . Dr. Miiler, whose palatial edifico is but about a mile from the scene of the murder, is” deeply moved by the horrible affair. Speaking o the suoject, he regretted that no reward had yet been offered. He felt that a reward should be offered, and, more thun that, that the sheriff ought to be em- vowered 1o hire a man from day to day to keep on the track of the murderer and run nim down if it took a year, or five years. The county of Douglus, he said, couid not afford to have it go abroad that murder might boe committed here without the great- est efforts bewng made to avenge it. He thought that the award should be at least $1,000, and that it ought to be sup- plemented by whatever _tho governor could add to it. If tho com- missioners took an interest in the matter, there should be a public meeting called of citizens to protest against the business and a subscription tuken to coutinue the chase. County Attorney Mahoney has addressed a communication to the couaty commis- sioners reco.smending the offering of u re- ward for the capture of the murderers of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The communication is as follows: Boarp or Couxty CoMMIsstoNEks, Doug- las County, Mebraska.—Dear Sirs: I desire to sugwest to your honorable body the pro- priety of offering a reward in conformity with the provisions of section 206 of the criminal code for the apprehenmsion of tho murderers of Allen Jones and wife. Under this section you have authority, if you deew it expedient, to offer such reward, You can also, under the same section, provide for the payment of the expenses’ necessarily in- curred by the sherift i his efforts to dis- cover and arrest the guilty parties. I wouid suggest that you make such arraugements as will enable the sheriff to employ one or more competent‘men at a per diem compensation, to be kept dilirently ac work on the case and to give it exciusive attention, It is unnecessary to point out to you.the unspeakable atrocity of this murder and tnat tne earnest desire of all good citizens is that the guiity party be brought to justice at whaever cost. ~ Yours truly, . T. J. Manoxey, County Attorney. led a i The Suicide. Yesterday the attention of Sheriff Boyd was directed to the reported su of an upknowa party in Nobraska City aod he was asked what steps he intended to take to ascerwin whether or not the remains were those of Neal, the Jones murderer, He replied that he did not think that the description tailied with that of the murderer. ‘The latter did not wear a mustache and if there was auy hair on his face it could not have been more than would have grown in a week, on the supposition thatthe Hiend had not shaved in the meantime, The sheriff did not thick it was necessary tosend a man to Nebraska City to identify the deceased, but telegraphed the coroner at that place to wform him whether the fingers of either hand of the suicide were 1njured or missing. Sheriff Boyd yesterday afternoon received tue following telegram in reply Suicide's hands ordinary size, showing bard work. On left hana at root and be- tween middle fingers one large and one small wart. C. N. KARSTENS, Coroner, This conclusively proves that the suicide was not Neal, as the latter’'s left hand was deformed. “Neal and Irvine.” There seems to have been a misunder- standing as 1egards the tearing up of the check which it is alleged Neal 0 to Wright & Baldwin for some furmshing goods on Eaturday last. ‘The document has been pre~ served, It was made for §10 while the bill of goods amounted to about $3. The difference in cash was paid to the maker. Tbe signa- ture was “Charles H. Irvine.” It was writ~ ten in an uncertain hand with light lines, very little shading, and evidently by & man who was disguising his hand. The lines ap- peared as if they had been drawn by 8 pen held between the index and the second finger. The check was made payable to Wright & Baldwin, and the penmanship i these words differed considerably from thav of the amount of the check and the sigus ture. The flr{l letter of Wright's name— “W”-—was not made as a capital, while the initinls of every other important feuture of the check was well and properly drawn, In making this check the writer consumed a great deal of time, writing with great method and some anxioty and destroying three blank che<ks before he had Hnished the work to his satisfaction. There is little similarity between the sig- nature of Irvine and Neal, save in the letter *'e,” aad thero it is most noticeable, Thera is little doubt, however, that both could have peen written by the sawe band, be cause of the versaillity which Neal ai played in the writing of his siguatures avd the bill of sale, both of which were repro- duced in Tus Ber of Monday. Why Neal should have contidenced Wright & Baldwin out of the $7 when he must have had at least $00 on his person can not be understood. This fact tends to question the ideutitication of the purchaser as being Neal aod has aroused tne suspicion that the writer might probably be Kohr. With this idea the authorities have compared the signature on & note given some Lime g0 by Robr to Mr. Plclllnl‘ but no resemblance save io the letter “e” could be discovered. Nea) Bought a Watoh, The authorities for several days past have been engaged in a fruitless search for a watch which Neal purchased from Joweler Koblbert in South Omaba. The artiole is of fourteen karat gold, lady's size, with an Elgin movement numbered 8,000,01L The case is numbered 85,250, 1t is also markea® K6, 2, 90, the memorandum of the jeweler, Whea Neal was making this ase, he kept his loft hand gloved, while from the small floger of the right hand he removed the gold ring which he bad stolen frowm the Suger of whe murdered womsn. Whether this be proof that theoleft hand is in some way or other deformed vannot now be de termined. If such a doformation should ex ist, there is a probabifity that the murderer may be Rohr, who is titius a finger, 1t is Al legod, on one hand, but which hand is net known. Robr has net bn seen since he ran away sometime ago after having mort gaged some of Dr. Pinney's stock on the same farm. He would khow everything re lating to the place, and its lessees and ooc- vants and could easily, have spoken of peo ple and cone all that ha& been done in this remarkable case. Thls nian 18 now the ob- ject of a very close search throughout the state. King Will e Relenssd. County Attorney Mahouey had a long con forence with King,the Millard suspect, day. This was with a viow to gam some ad- ditional points respecting the man’s possible connection with the great marder, At present there does not seem to be any likelihood of such a connection bemg established. He has a weak, almost characterloss face, and ap- pears to be just the man who would repro- sent himself o have accomplished sometning which might attract to him attention. Such was doubtless his_motive in sgating that he was one of the first on the ground after the bodies had been found . Mr, Mahoney telegraphed to Denver to hold the grip which King said he had ex pressed to that place. His intontion was to have the coutents examined for suspicious articles, and to discover whether or not they tallied with that given by the suspected indi- vidual, The county attorney sccured the written consent of King for an examination of the grip and its contents, and last night he coived a telegram_from K. A, Latimer, gen- cral agent of the Pacific express company at Denver, giving an_inventory of the coatents of the valise. The inventory tallied with that given by King himself, After reading tho telegram Mr. Maboney said that he would release King this morning, as he knew of no grounds for holding him any further. Onawallader at ths Yards. Although it was not brought out at the in- quast, it was discovered yesterday that Mr. A.B.Cadwallader, the sou-in-law of the' mur- dered people, was at the stock yards the day on which he visited the ola folks at the Pioney farm, He called upon - Mr. Kenworthy, who is conaected with the commission firm of Kre- nan & Smith. Mr. Kenwortby said that he had become acquainted with Cadwallader through a mutval friend with whom he called some time in Decem- ber. On that occasion Cadwallader in- formed Kenworthy that he thougit of rent- ing the Pinney farm' and was on his way to inspect it. Cadwallader next called, and it is prét sumed in the neighborhood of Christmas, andtold him that he had rented the farm and would move on it as soon as possibie. On the last visit made by Mr. Cad- wallader he told Mr. Kenworthy that he had been out to the farm to visit the old folks, and that he had some corn he wanted to sell at his home in Iowa aud when he should sell that he would move to the Pinney farm. He told Mr.Kenworthythat he was going to Chicago with some cattle, and asked him if (Kenworthy) could not get him (Cadwalla- der) a job shipping cattle to Chicago, until seed time, when he move on bis farm, Mr. Kenworthy said he could not, because the yards were full of old cattls shippers and there was no chavce for a stranger, Cadwallader seemed th have walked in from the farm and left the yards as if he wero going to take thq motor. Mr. Keoworthy s that Cadwallader called upon him about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and remained with him an hour, after which they took a stroll into tho ~yards. Accordmg to Cad- wallader's statement before the jury it was 3 o’clock before hie loft the farm, and he conld nat have rdudhed the stock much earlier than 4 or 4:30 a'elock. The stock was driven jnto South Omata tiree and a half days later. The Great Rock island Route.

OFFICER HAZE'S OHASE, A Lively Experience with a Trio of Pickpockets. Officer Tom Huze yesterday afternoon ex- changed his blue coat aud brass buttons for citizens’ clothes and went on a still hunt for the two pickpockets, James Bradley and Frank Donuelly, who nipped Mrs. George Lein's purse at the postofiice on Monday. He was rewarded by succeeding in rounding up his men in company with a third near Fifteenth and Dodge. Tom is a very am- bitious officer, and made a dash to capture the entire trio. He succeeded in doing so, but one of then? afterwards got away. ‘Then he called on citizen to hold one of the remaining two while ne, taking his man with him on a keen jump, tore off atter the runaway. Spectators who witnessed the episode say that 1t was one of the funniest and at the same time prettiest chases thoy ever saw. As the racers sped slong, Haze tugging av the man whom he had by arm and shouting to him at every jump, “Don’t you dare to break away ! and calling upon “the gather- ing crowds ahead of him to “Stop that man!" produced perfect pandemonium, people on ail sides taking up, his cry, an men and boys yelling the top of their xl‘flaln., “There's a thief! Stop him! Stop m The fleeing fugitive finally got away, de- spite Tom's heroic efforts, but Bradley and Donuelly were finally landed behind the bars.
